This book, first published in 2009, is a major study of visual
representations of Europe, from the classical world to the present
day, in maps, icons, the arts and graphic images of all kinds.
Europe has been variously represented as the demi-goddess Europa, a
bull, a horse, a son of Noah, a Magus, a queen, and the Empress of
the World. This richly illustrated book charts how these
visualizations of the continent have altered over time; how they
interact with changing ideas of the extent and nature of Europe in
relation to the other continents; and how these images have
influenced and been influenced by the 'reality' of Europe. Spanning
the ages from the Ancient Greeks to the European Union, this
history of three millennia of Europe and its representations is an
important contribution to ongoing debates about the nature of
European identity.
